View of Surfers Paradise from the Q1 Tower.

An introduction to the Gold Coast and its golden coastline.

Situated in Southern Queensland the Gold Coast is a tourist mecca that consists of 57km of coastline and is home to some of the best surf spots in the world. It’s often considered the entertainment capital of Australia so you will never be short of options for things to do and if your a fan of sunny days and big nights out then the Gold Coast is the place for you.

Check out the Q1 Tower

Visit Australia’s tallest building (if you include the spire) the Q1 Tower for unbelievable views of the Gold Coast. You could even stay there if you’re after luxury accommodation. Located only a 5 minute drive from the heart of Surfers Paradise the Q1 Tower was until 2011 the tallest residential building in the world and is not for those with a fear of heights. If you’re not scared of heights or up for a thrill then try the open-air SkyPoint climb and live life on the edge.

Cruise down to Byron Bay

The Gold Coast is full of tourists throughout the year but there are locations to escape the hustle and bustle. Hire a car from Surfers Paradise and cruise to Byron Bay. It’s home to Australia’s most eastern point and is a scenic 1 hour drive from the Gold Coast. Head to the Byron Bay Lighthouse and enjoy the majestic views of the Northern NSW coast or chill-out on the beach. For more information on Byron Bay check out our page on Byron Bay car rental

Head to Queensland’s “Big Smoke”

Queensland’s capital city is also only a 1 hour drive from the Gold Coast. Brisbane is a large city with a small town vibe and makes for a great day trip from the Gold Coast. Head to Southbank in the centre of town and relax at the man-made swimming beach or explore the city’s arts and culture attractions that are also located in this area.
